Running Time: 01:58:45
[ Full Audio]
Since at least the time of the American Revolution, America has been a revolutionary force for democracy and liberty in world affairs. Some have called us a dangerous and revolutionary nation. American ideas about democracy and liberty have played a role over the last 200 years in the French Revolution, the Latin American wars of independence from Spain and Portugal, reform efforts in Britain, the revolutions of 1848, Woodrow Wilson's war to make the world safe for democracy, the Second World War struggle against the Nazis and fascists, and the cold war struggle against communist totalitarianism. Is it fair to say that Americans have spread our system of government to Western and Eastern Europe, to Latin America, to Japan, and to much of the rest of the world? If so, what role, if any, should America play in spreading democracy and liberty to the Islamic World? Do we have a special responsibility in Iraq or elsewhere to spread our ideas about freedom, self-government, and the rule of law? What are the limits on America's foreign policy responsibilities? Should we be an exemplar of liberty and democracy only, or should we actively seek to spread our way of life around the world? Can or should a country that believes in liberty and democracy ever engage in imperialism?

WESTERN SAN JUANS – With the threat of the Gunnison sage grouse being listed as an endangered species and more than 1.7 million acres of land being designated as critical habitat becoming a reality, 11 county governments in western Colorado and eastern Utah are pledging to work together to increase the species' population.
Over several weeks, the 11 counties – among them Delta, Montrose, San Miguel, Ouray, and Gunnison counties – have agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding intended to "ensure that reasonable and adequate work is being conducted, and shall continue to be conducted to reach the goal of increasing the current abundance, viability and vitality of Gunnison sage grouse and their habitat," according to the document.
The agreement by the consortium of counties comes after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced on Jan. 10 its proposal to list the species under the Endangered Species Act because scientific evidence suggests that it is in danger of extinction. Under the act, the Fish and Wildlife Service must also propose potential critical habitat. In accordance with that requirement, the agency has proposed 1.7 million acres of critical habitat to be designated for the Gunnison sage grouse.
For many of the impacted local governments, the critical habitat designation has far-reaching implications.
"I think this memorandum of understanding will be beneficial to all the counties that are signatories to it from a standpoint to hopefully averting an endangered species listing," Montrose County Commissioner David White said on March 21, before the MOU was approved at a special hearing. "Such a listing for the Gunnison sage grouse will destroy the economies of several counties, and significantly impact Montrose County, given there can be no ground disturbance on what has been identified as critical habitat."
At Tuesday's meeting of the Ouray Board of County Commissioners, both the MOU and a letter drafted by Ouray County Attorney Martha Whitmore opposing the listing and the designation of critical habitat in Ouray County were approved.
Ouray County's letter calls the designation of habitat "premature and unwarranted," and the description of critical habitat "speculative," further charging that the action is "arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of discretion by USFWS….[and that] the process is fatally flawed in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act."
The letter also accuses Fish and Wildlife of failing to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act.
"Marti, not only did you capture the board's comments [from a previous meeting], but you made us sound intelligent in putting forward a very good argument against something that would drastically affect farming and ranching in this county," Ouray Commissioner Don Batchelder told Whitmore.
From her professional experience years ago with a Colorado Division of Wildlife study on sagebrush mapping, Commissioner Lynn Padgett questioned the "habitat polygon" put forward by Fish and Wildlife. "On that basis alone," she said, habitat designation in the Colona/Montrose County border area "doesn't hold any water."
But San Miguel County, which has been proactive in efforts to increase the species population in the past, both as an active member of the San Miguel Basin GUSG Working Group since its inception and maintaining an active Land Heritage Program, plans to continue with a focus on improvement of Gunnison sage grouse habitat. To date, the county has dedicated $1,279,000 to place 2,931 acres of occupied sage grouse habitat in conservation easement.
In comments to Fish and Wildlife approved Wednesday, the San Miguel Board of County Commissioners voiced concerns that the proposed listing may not go far enough. "Given the potential for oil and gas development and the fact that some currently deferred lands may be made available in future land use plans, the BOCC believes the proposed rules understate the risk oil and gas development represents to the species," they commented, going on to express concern that the designation of private lands in the Egnar/Dove Creek area as critical habitat will discourage participation in the Cropland Reserve Program and thus could further reduce suitable sage grouse habitat.
In supporting the GUSG Working Group, San Miguel County has also dedicated an additional $9,500 in 2013 to facilitate work with private property owners, energy developers and other government entities.
"I hope San Miguel County can redouble its efforts to help the bird succeed," San Miguel County Commissioner Art Goodtimes said. "I strongly supported the MOU…it merely calls for all the local governments to work together for the best of the bird. It's hard not to support that. I think we all hope we can work with Fish and Wildlife to help the bird come back from the brink of extinction."
The Fish and Wildlife public comment period closes on April 2.

Monday To Sunday From 05:00 PM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Lake Union, Fremont
Great place to wait and wait and wait for the music to start – I came on a Monday night to see Spellbinder. The calendar said it was supposed to start at 9:00 PM. I felt bad for arriving three minutes late. But...
After a half hour of finishing sound check, the band dicked around for another 20 minutes going out for a smoke and such. I tried the food to kill some time. Bring your own frozen pizza from Costco if you want to eat fast. After they started 55 minutes LATE, I listened for about ten minutes, and then had to head home 'cause, there's Tuesday morning out there, right? AVOID THIS PLACE UNTIL THERE IS A STATEMENT ON THE CALENDAR, THAT EFFECTIVELY IMMEDIATELY, CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO MAKE THE CALENDAR A USEFUL PLANNING TOOL!!!!!
Self Centered – What has happened to building relationships & supporting people in our local community? I work at La Cantina; a tiny off the map, "underground", unlisted bar catering to musicians & came to Tost to see some of the bands I work with. While at Tost I tried to pass out flyers for my bar & leave some on a table which many bars & venues have available for advertisement. The manager at Tost felt so threaten that I would take business away from him, he asked I stop & told me it was best I leave. If one were to see La Cantina you would see there is no threat. Tost has a web-site, adds in The Stranger & located on the beaten path; we have none of!!!! We simply just have a myspace. . .
Uptight bartenders – This place is way too uptight, maybe it was just that night my friends and I went, but we were dancing around having a great time, and the bartenders decided we needed to be cut off. We took a few shots, and were dancing, but isn't that part of partying? I wouldn't recommend this place unless you just want to sit and listen to music.
Don't Expect Customer Service – We went to Tost because they have happy hour til 8pm: 1/2 off food and good drink specials.
We went directly to the deck, it's cute and cozy. The bartender came immediately, we ordered drinks, the Cheese Plate and the Mediterranean Plate. The drinks came very quickly. But after 40 min, there was still no food (neither of those dishes had to be cooked!!) and no sign of the bartender again. Around this time, another bartender started serving the deck customers, so I asked her to find out what was going on with our food and I ordered another drink. The next time she came out, she was empty handed and she ignored me. Then she was back inside in a flash. I had to flag her down the next time to ask where my food and drinks were, and was told there was an ingredient problem, but now there's only one order in front of ours, so it should be out soon. By now it's been an hour, so we canceled our food order and left.
Rotating local art adorns the walls of this Fremont hot space where live music brings in 20-something crowds. – In Short
Dark blue lighting, an outdoor patio and cozy chairs by a fireplace present ample spots to snuggle up with a drink and enjoy the tunes. Specialty drinks--all called "martinis"--are served in the traditional wide-rimmed and long-stemmed glasses. Try the "Summer"--a blend of Tanqueray gin, fresh squeezed lime and a touch of vermouth sure to quench even the wildest of thirsts.
Change is good, really! – any of Fremonts changes are for the better, like the recent management change at ToST. The most noticeable change is the service. The staff is more friendly and skilled than before but they havent acquired that production feeling of larger places. They still provide live music six nights a week and display art work from local artists, and the atmosphere is still that of a small, chic local spot. The down side is that it fills up fast, which I guess is good because that means theyll be around a while.
Better than Ever! – I didn't think I could love this joint more until they remodeled recently. It's even cozier with the addition of comfy chairs around the fireplace, and they've opened it up so there's more room to spread your wings on the dance floor. It was a lot cooler in there, too, even on the jam packed Friday I was there. The bartender said that they'd installed a ceiling exhaust fan. The staff knows you by name and what you drink if you've been there more than a couple times. A fabulous spot!!!
Fremont's Best Place! – This place has some of the best live music and DJ's around, with a great vibe! It's no smoking, but there's a porch out back that is very smoker friendly! The music cover is always $5 or less, and it's free if you get there before 9! I like the place! The pizzas are great, and they're only $5 during Happy Hour!
Not worth your time! – The service was by far the worst thing about ToST--rude and unfriendly to the point it made me leave. (To say the service was slow would be an understatement because the staff of two never acknowledged our table.) Everything else was just average. I didn't get to the porch, so I gave ToST the benefit of the doubt and bumped them up in atmosphere a little. Fremont has plenty of great bars, so don't waste your time at ToST. You'll regret it.
Friday Night DISASTER – I am a long-time supporter of Fremont establishments and miss the look and feel of what used to be the Center of the Universe. ToST is a perfect example of what I hate about Fremont now. My friend and I met there on a Sat night for cocktails. We had an OK experiencedrinks were decent, music was good. We decided to give it another try and invited a group of friends to meet us the following Fri after work for happy hour. We were so embarrassed because the service was HORRIBLE. They had one waitperson working the entire place. When we wanted to order another round of drinks we had to literally get out of our seats to hunt her down. For some odd reason she wasnt using a try and delivered our drinks to us one by one from the bar. It was AWFUL. Never again.

Valpo Defeats IUPUI To Extend Win Streak To Three
Thursday, February 03, 2005Indianapolis, Ind. � Ron Howard scored six of his team-high 14 points in the final 1:34 and Valpo survived a 3-point attempt at the buzzer to defeat IUPUI 64-61 at Conseco Fieldhouse. Shawn Huff added 11 points and eight rebounds for Valpo and Seth Colclasure netted 11 points. Kenny Harris scored 10 points, including six during a 10-0 second half run.
Howard made two free throws with 9.4 seconds left to give Valpo a 63-59 lead. After IUPUI�s George Hill made a layup, Colclasure was fouled and drained one of two free throws with 6.8 seconds left. Brandon Cole missed a long 3-pointer at the buzzer. Valpo (10-11, 6-3 Mid-Con) extended its winning streak to three and is now 4-1 in Mid-Con road games. IUPUI (10-10, 4-5) has lost three straight.
In the first half, the defenses dominated as Valpo limited IUPUI to 24 percent shooting (7 for 29). The Crusaders, which shot 32 percent, took their first lead (13-12) at the 9:50 mark on Howard�s reverse layup. After IUPUI took the lead back with a short jumper, Harris, Dan Oppland and Huff each made baskets during a 6-0 run to give the Crusaders a 19-14 lead with 4:48 remaining.
IUPUI�s Troy Shanks stopped Valpo�s run with a 3-pointer from the left wing. After Moussa Mbaye�s two free throws pushed the Valpo lead to 22-17, the Jaguars went on a 5-0 run to tie the game at 22-22 with 1:00 left on Akeem Clark�s 3-pointer. Colclasure�s 10-foot jumper in the lane with 23 seconds left gave Valpo a 24-22 halftime lead.
Huff netted five points to lead the Crusaders� first-half scoring, while Johnny Miller�s seven points topped the Jaguars. IUPUI hurt itself in the first half at the free throw line, converting 5-of-12 charity tosses.
Valpo hosts Centenary Saturday at 7:05 p.m.

- So far so good a few days after FS Investment Corporation (FSIC +0.6%) - the largest non-traded REIT - went public, immediately becoming the 4th largest company in the publicly traded BDC sector.
- BDCs are generally a retail product - the typical one targets 90% retail investors, 10% institutional - but, along with also recently gone-public TPG Specialty Lending (TSLX -1.3%), FSIC "begins to create some comfort with institutional investors," says Raymond James' Robert Dodd, noting FSIC backers Blackstone and Franklin Square Capital Partners. The TPG listing, according to sources, had 85% institutional participation.
- The pressure from 60K individual investors owning FSIC could weigh on the shares, says Ladenburg Thalmann's Mickey Schleien, but offsetting that is a tender offer by the company for up to $250M of stock.

- Particularly hard hit in a red BDC sector (BIZD -1%) is American Capital (ACAS -3.2%). The stock had run up sharply two weeks ago on hopes for a spinoff of the asset management business, but receptive public markets are necessary for such a move. With today's decline, the shares have given back about all of those gains.
- Also struggling over the past couple of weeks is Northstar Realty Finance (NRF -3.4%) which is spinning off its asset management unit.

- Unless the SEC changes the sector's fee-reporting standards by May 15, Russell told clients last night it will remove BDCs from its indexes during its June reconstitution.
- Earlier calling such a move somewhat of a nonevent, Wells' team sounds like it's singing a different tune now. They believe there's a chance the SEC does change the rules, because not doing so would "likely drive sophisticated institutional capital away from the space." More: "We believe this is the very capital that is adept on calling out subpar BDCs. … In our view, a healthy and sophisticated public market is needed to ensure that only those deserving BDCs are the ones to receive the capital."
- It's no little deal as an estimated 8% of all BDC shares are owned by funds benchmarked to the Russell 2000 index.
- Index maker CRSP, whose benchmarks are tracked by Vanguard, already bars BDCs, calling them "essentially publicly traded private investment vehicles ... [we] excluded BDCs from the get-go, recognizing that they really don't represent equity securities of the type that are trying to be captured in equity indexes."
- In a big green down for the markets, most of the BDC sector is in the red. Prospect (PSEC -0.5%), Fifth Street (FSC -1.5%), Ares(ARCC -0.9%), BlackRock Kelso (BKCC -1.6%), Medley (MCC -0.9%) THL (TCPC -1.6%), NGP (NGPC -2.9%), New Mountain (NMFC -1.6%), PennantPark (PNNT -0.5%), Triangle (TCAP -0.7%).

- Declines in the sector in response to Russell's decision to exclude BDCs from its indices are due to technical, not fundamental reasons, says analyst Jonathan Bock. "We believe select BDCs offer compelling return opportunities in this low rate, low credit loss environment. In our view, those risk/return elements are unaffected by whether or not the BDCs are included in Russell Indices."
- Among Wells' highest rated names: American Capital (ACAS), Ares Capital (ARCC), Golub Capital (GBDC), Medley Capital (MCC), and TCP Capital (TCPC).

- WIth business development companies getting the boot from S&P indices, will the Russell follow suit? It's a significant issue as investors are far more heavily invested in BDCs though the Russell indices than through S&P, writes Brendan Conway. He notes ownership of BDCs by Russell-tracking index funds are as high as 38 days worth of trading volume, and Wells Fargo estimates there are 24 BDCs where 10 or more days of average volume would be required to unload them.
- Wells, however, does not see Russell following S&P's lead, with item #1 being Russell's desire to "represent small cap reality." "Russell Indices receive acclaim because they are willing to provide investors access to the true investable small cap universe. To the extent BDCs are excluded, this would deprive investors the opportunity to invest in what has become a very large/growing industry."
- The following list is those BDCs with 10 or more days of average volume in index funds tracking Russell indices.
- NGPC 38.23 days of volume, CSWC 29 days, SCM 23.5, FDUS 20.7, GARS 20, MVC 19.7, SUNS 18, WHF 17.8, SLRC 17.2, CPTA 16, MCGC 15.1, BKCC 14.9, TCRD 14, HRZN 14, TCAP 13.9, PNNT 13.3, HTGC 12.6, TICC 12.6, GLAD, 12.4, GBDC 12.3, KCAP 12.2, TAXI 11.8, MAIN 11.4, NMFC 9.98.

- "After consulting with clients concerned with certain reporting requirements, expenses, and investment restrictions relating to business development companies (BDCs), S&P Dow Jones has decided to remove all identified BDCs from its U.S. Indices.
- Press release
- BDC ETFs: BDCL, BDCS, BIZD
- Earlier: Prospect Capital (PSEC -2.7%) is removed from the S&P 600 SmallCap Index and Apollo Investment (AINV -7.3%) is removed from the S&P 400 MidCap Index.
- Prospect's market cap is $3.4B, Apollo's $1.9B. Other BDCs with market caps over $1B: Fifth Street (FSC -0.8%), Ares Capital (ARCC -1.5%), American Capital (ACAS -1.7%), Main Street (MAIN -1.7%), Hercules Technology (HTGC -2%). Close enough to $1B for an argument: Solar Capital (SLRC -1.8%) and Golub Capital (GBDC -0.2%).

- Comparing metrics for the two of the more popular dividend strategies - the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY +0.4%) and the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG +0.7%) - against the two largest large-cap value ETFs - the Russell 1000 Value ETF (IWD +0.9%) and Vanguard's Value ETF (VTV +0.7%) - Larry Swedroe finds valuations quite stretched for the dividend players.

- "It's been extremely frustrating," says Fifth Street Finance (FSC -1.4%) CEO Len Tannenbaum on the earnings call (transcript), as the company has struggled executing on its five-point plan and yesterday cut the dividend to be more in line with reduced earnings.
- He blames this FQ4's particularly weak result on prepayments being front-loaded coupled with a "lousy" origination number of $120M as several deal closing slipped into FQ1. "The board looked at $0.24 (NII) versus our dividend level, and said, all right, we just have not earned our dividend for several quarters and we have to put it at least temporarily in line with the current earnings level."
- Responding to a question about whether the board will consider cutting the fee structure in light of the company's move into first lien, safer, lower-yielding assets, President Bernard Berman dances around a bit, but does promise an improvement in general and administrative expenses next year.
- One thing investors don't have to worry about in the short-term is a stock offering as Fifth Street - given the tough deal environment - is sitting on plenty of excess capital (there was a secondary in September).
- Company specific? Thus far, the rest of the BDC sector is shrugging off FSC's weak results.

- Anything paying income is again being particularly hard hit by the rise in Treasury yields (the 10-year now at a 2-year high of 2.8%).
- Selections in mREITs (REM -2.1%), (MORT -1.9%) include RAIT Financial Trust (RAS -4.1%) - whose IRT had an ill-timed IPO yesterday and Ellington Residential (EARN -4.8%) - the market not caring about reasonable Q2 performance, a hefty discount to book, and the launch of a repurchase program. Other mREITs: CYS Investments (CYS -3.6%), Apollo (AMTG -3%), Newcastle (NCT -5%), Invesco (IVR -2.7%), Arlington Asset (AI -1.2%). A leveraged ETF play: MORL.

- Ares Capital (ARCC -2.5%) slides after KBW removes its Buy rating on the stock a day after Q2 earnings were reported.
- Of note is the 90 basis point Y/Y decline in average yield on the company's debt investments to 10.8% - a result, says management (transcript), of a focus on lower-yielding senior secured debt, lower yields on new debt in general, and the repricing of some loans. The yield on the total portfolio (which includes equity investments) fell a more moderate 60 bps to 9.8%.
- Earnings presentation slides.
- Other BDCs of note: Triangle (TCAP -1.9%), TICC (TICC -1.3%), Prospect (PSEC -1.2%).

Wednesday, Jun 192013, 11:19 AMTriangle Capital (TCAP -1.1%) updates its investor presentation as its annual analyst and investor meeting gets underway. Why TCAP as opposed to other BDCs? Internally managed BDCs like TCAP, MAIN, and HTGC have lower relative G&A expenses and deliver better returns to owners. Why BDCs (BDCS) over regional banks? Fewer banks with far more conservative capital structures are leaving plenty of market share for BDCs to pick up. |Wednesday, Jun 192013, 11:19 AM| 2 Comments
Friday, Jun 72013, 10:43 AMTreasury prices are sharply lower, but high yield (HYG +0.6%) is enjoying a nice bounce after a rough few weeks. The move is translating into higher prices for BDCs (BDCS +1.5%) - whose assets are somewhat comparable to junk debt. Leading: Prospect (PSEC +1.2%), Main Street (MAIN +2.2%), Triangle (TCAP +1%), MCG (MCGC +1.6%), American Capital (ACAS +1.7%), Fifth Street (FSC +1.1%), and Golub (GBDC +0.9%). As SA's Alberto Alfonso points out, American Capital - for one - can take advantage of recent declines to buy back even more shares at well below book value. |Friday, Jun 72013, 10:43 AM| 1 Comment
Thursday, May 22013, 12:59 PMAmerican Capital (ACAS +1.9%) gets a little love from Wells Fargo after yesterday's post-earnings swoon. The stock trades at a massive discount to its BDC brethren - 0.74x NAV compared to 1.08x for the group - likely because of its policy of buying back shares instead of paying a dividend. Did ACAS have credit issues during the financial crisis? Yes, but no more so than MCGC which trades at book. "Market irrationality," say the analysts. |Thursday, May 22013, 12:59 PM| 6 Comments
Monday, Apr 222013, 10:46 AMA selection of BDCs (HTGC, GBDC, NMFC, ARCC, FSC) are on the rise after a weekend Barron's article suggests high-yield fans (HYG, JNK) receiving around a 5% yield might consider a bit of "valuation arbitrage." BDCs yielding north of 8% loan money to non-IG companies, but their paper is better-protected than junk bonds. Rising recognition of this could narrow the gap, suggests Wells' Jonathan Bock.

I think you are making a wise choice. Hurtful, but wise. I know nothing we can say will make you feel any better. See, you are entering into the pain of ending. Its all part of life. Loss. But also a wonderful part of life is change, new beginnings.
This is a time where you need to spend a little time on yourself. It will be Ok if allow others to help you. Lean on some friends. Make sure your H understands and expects 3-4 nights of taking care of the kids on his own. This is going to be your private time for yourself. This should be time without the kids, without your H.. I am sure you have girlfriend to lean on
some family? Your private should be time to volunteer at a soup kitchen, a class, enjoy new movies, bowling, art, reading fun books, pick up a hobby youve always wanted to do
You need to do these things to move forward in life. I actually agree with M3s post
Please, just be confident in you. You can handle being single. It will be what you make it. I think if you can vision, dream some. Once you get over this initial shock with all those feelings, you will have new feelings that you have not had in a long time. These feeling could make you feel Extremely good. But it will take effort on your part.
Your goal should be total happiness. It does not come by staying with a partner not committed to you. Life is a journey, and paths change. You will be happy again
Make it so
Last night, I was watching that show Hoarders. The woman was living in chicken shit. Yes, with real birds. She would show anger to push around others to keep what she perceive was a good life. Her life was taking care of those birds. But most of those bird were sick, no feathers, and some even died while taping that show. It was her perception she was doing good, right
When crew came in to help her, she resisted, Change made her feel very uncomfortable.
It made me think about marriage relationships. We get so caught up in living our lives, we get caught up in living with the shit, and think this is the norm. Was she really happy living in the shit? Not until we realize the shit for what it is... Only then can place it in the proper place..

So, this morning he kissed me Goodbye before leaving for work. It was cute - like he knew he shouldn't be doing it, but was doing it anyway (wait.... that's not really cute - that's more like his m.o. - damn!). Anyhoo - I told him he shouldn't be doing that. He then sent me a text after he left just saying Good Morning and hoping I could try to enjoy the day.
While I realize that I probably shouldn't like any of this - I do. Yesterday he really seemed to be down, but not trying to get me to change my mind, which I just thought was odd. (I mean, he seemed to think I was serious enough - he started making room in the basement for him to put a bed down there, etc.).
Anyway, it's nice to see that he's not so callous that he could take the end of our relationship without looking back.
Enough of that for now.
Honest: Havent' heard from you - hope you are ok. Is HE still in the states?
Peace to all.
Only 2 of my girlfriends know that I've decided to end it. No one else will know until after we tell our kids - which, ideally, will not be until after school ends for the year.
And - I forgot to clarify my intentions about cohabitating. I do intend to tell the kids in the summer. After 6 months of this, my H and I will be in a better position to know if we are going to be able to cohabit or will need to set up 2 different homes. Logically, I see the point of keeping us in 1 house - I would get a lot more help with the kids, he would see the kids more, and of course, the financial situation would not change. But, if it proves too difficult emotionally, we will have to do something else.
That is the plan for now.
I'm thinking of drawing up an agreement when I get to work today.
Anyway - gots to go.
Thanks for checkin in with my Tryn.
I'm thinking of drawing up an agreement when I get to work today
That kiss didn't seem like an end? cohabitating = LIMBO 3. an intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place.
[This message edited by trynhard at 6:12 AM, January 4th (Tuesday)]
this place needs a little decorating....i'm thinkin a pale but vibrant blue to represent peace....some yellow for brightness, some red for fun, some green for wealth.....ok so this is a colorful place....maybe it should be a flag of some sorts.....
allgood: of course it made you happy that he hasn't given up....that is sometimes the ulitmate rejection.....after all they have done to give up so easily....meanwhile that in itself is the paradox...because to really fight for it he needed to just do right....needed to be the husband he should have been all along....
this is what i live with every single day...a man who insists he is changed...yet the very basics that needed changing remain....and he still insists that this marriage could work.. ......well....uhhh.....NO, I DONT THINK SO......
i actually asked pfm last nite....why should i trust you...what have you done to instill trust....have you been open, honest and completely transparent.....why should i believe anything you say...you lie about anything and everything, how would i know the truth afterall you are the consummate liar, you have lied everyday to me since i met you......
...cohatiation is hard, the fustration level is sometimes through the roof....
and pfm does not only just do stupid well, he seems to be the definition!!!
honest: check in hon....
I am sooooo sorry. It's my turn this time to be angry at your WH and want to shake some good sense into him.
His attitude has been defeatist and fatalistic(sp?) this whole time, like nothing he could do or say would fix the sitch. He's moping around and has done nothing really concrete to fix the situation.
I'm so sorry Allgood. I understand the pain.
....was happy to have a choice....
I truly, truly understand the feelings that go with that!!! When we feel we have a choice, we feel more empowered, feel we can DO something (or not). But as Tryn, often points out to us, we still do have a choice, for ourselves. We have to put that effort for us and our journey with or without our WS's.
I have taken a long, long time to get to this realization.
Allgood, I feel that writing a separation agreement right now is your best course of action. Get what you need NOW when WH is still feeling guilty enough and in the marriage enough to give you what you need. My xWH and I were legally separated for almost 10 years!!!
Perhaps you can state what the "cohabiting" terms are too..... if WH wants to "date", then he needs to find other living accomodations for example?
Allgood, I'm so very sorry. I understand about wanting to see or find something that proved your suspicions all along, but it still hurts. But now, there is a difference. It's more the hurt of grieving and mourning than the devastation we felt initially.
Ats: You and your FWW are in my prayers at this time. This will be a hard thing to go through, but it is so positive that you both realize this and are leaning upon each other. I forgot who said it, but I agree, FWW might "relapse" into some of her former behavior during this stressful time. Please keep that in mind while you are away at the funeral. You may even want to point this out to her ahead of time in a loving and supportive way and that you will be there for her to guide her back to her newfound knowledge and coping mechanisms.
FNF: I loved your post. It was an excellent discussion and very meaningful.
.....the duck is fucked.....
Thank you for sharing these stories about the ducks!! They really make me smile. I absolutely LOVED the pic of the ducklings.
Welcome to all the newbies. Keep posting and venting and purging.
I realize that I must take notes to help me remember what I wanted to say. When I read someone's post, I want to respond immediately to it, but then forget what I wanted to say when it comes time to post!!
Mr. Dishonest will be leaving in a week. I've done quite well with detaching, but I still can get reeled in from time to time and have to remind myself of the reality.
I've been mourning here and there, no major meltdowns. Just very sad sometimes, but not the complete devastation. (although that hovers from time to time)
I'm working on me internally, that is the 180 that I've been implementing. It's not me to be unkind. I'm acting "friendly" but not friends. I don't care if that gives mixed messages to WH. It's not my intention. My intention is to work on me and not worry about what WH is thinking and feeling. I feel mean spirited if I am sarcastic, callous, selfish, and uncaring. I bite my tongue now when I want to respond to some idiotic thing WH says, like "I want to make you happy".... If I take the bait, and respond, we just get into an argument, and that is counterproductive for me. It just gets me upset and is not worth it. I told WH if he does something that is hurtful, I will say so and not take it, like he said something about me caring more for DS 15's activities and sports than DS12's. I told him that it was not true an hurtful for him to say that and walked away.
Love to everyone. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Next time I will bring my notebook to jot down notes that this combo of "parent brain/senior moments" brain does not allow me to remember anything anymmore.
Tryn: As far as the cohabitating as limbo 3 - I get that, but it's also unavoidable in my eyes. I am not going to drop a bomb like this on my kids in the middle of the school year. There's really no urgency to it. If I start to see that it's negatively impacting my emotional health, than I will change the living situation, but it takes a tremendous amount of money to run my house,pay for child care, etc. and I'm not adding financial strain, along with giving up he help I do get from him with the kids if I don't have to. And, again, it's temporary - as of the summer, there will be no more cohabitating. That would be too confusing for the kids - to know Mom&Dad aren't together - but yet they are...
Forgive: I appreciate your advice, but I feel very strongly about containing the number of people that know about the affair as I believe it will undermine my deep desire to keep this from my kids. Dad is a hero to them. Every kid needs to believe their parents are heroes. I'm not taking that away from them. And, I know plenty of kids that never forgave a parent for stuff like this.
Anyway - he has heard it first hand from mutual friends of ours already- as far as their opinion of his behavior goes.
I'm not trying to fix this man, or cajole him into reconciling "my way". I'm not waiting around. He knows, and I hope he remembers, that I told him that should he get his act together, I would always give it another shot - or I would listen anyway.
And, as far as the agreement goes, unless my H starts running up credit card bills (which I really doubt), I'm actually better off waiting on drawing up papers. So, there's really no rush there - it's just more of something to make it official.
As it is he already called me this morning to ask how the kids got off to school. Which, my plan was to really have no contact with him other than as necessary while we are apart. When we are at home together, so far, I've been treating him like a friend. Cordial, not hostile,casual conversation, but not hanging out with him. I guess after spending half your life with someone, these can be hard habits to break.
Anyhoo - gots to go take care of other people's marital problems now. Lol.

Iwant.. I see you are finally getting in touch with your feelings!!!! Way to go
Honest... "WH says, like "I want to make you happy".... Tell him, about $100k would do it.. make me real happy.
[This message edited by trynhard at 11:06 AM, January 4th (Tuesday)]
I just read the latest news. I really hate all of this for you. Things like this are why so many of us were mad at your H for going to the party and pissed at your MC for saying it was O.K. for your H to go. I am glad to see that you are trying to handle this in a calm manner.
Sorry to hear about your MIL. I hope you and your W get through these next few day without any extra problems. I know you will tread lightly and support her.
To all the newbies welcome and to the oldies keep on posting. Great reading. I am needing to go back and read the past few days again.
BTW. You all moved while I was out of town! Makes me wonder if you are trying to ditch me. I guess I should be glad that I did not have to do any heavy lifting. I suppose you girls probably hired Cabanna Boys to do that. Again.
Hugs to the tribe.
Good to hear from you. Your voice sounds different. Better somehow... perhaps the reverberation from your armor. :)
Please tell me the dead gift duck wasn't one in your photos. (Not that you would know one from another, necessarily...) I did grow up in farm country, so killin' and eatin' animals is fine by me in theory... not so much when you see photos of frolicking in the grass first.
That is all. I am going through my needs lists AGAIN. Grouping them by topic. Getting all my ducks in a row, so to speak, so as to avoid actually dealing with them. I'm about a week away from my DDay#1 antiversary... weird. Then, eight months later, DDay#2. Not sure how to commemorate either. Cake?
Of course your emotions are in a whirlwind. Deep down, you don't want this. You are looking for a thread of hope and understandably so.
Ok, this is what I suggest. 1. Do a form of 180 that you feel comfortable with. No anger. You don't need that for yourself. Keep yourself as calm and as comfortable as you can. Try not to think about what HE is thinking.
2. Keep your next MC appointment. Decide what you want to discuss, especially for once and for all to ask your WH does HE really want it to be over or not.
A. He wants to R. Then state with MC what it will take.
B. He gives up.
C. You need to decide what YOU want to do. TAKE YOUR TIME. Don't make an emotional decision, or a decision just to stop the pain.
3. I also suggest to go to a few more MC appts, to have MC help you guys decide the terms of the cohabiting/coparenting until summer.
Nell: LOL, there are a lot of chinks in this armor, it really hasn't been forged yet.
Forgive: The kids have mixed feelings about WH leaving. DS 15 can't wait. He loves his father, but he also can't stand him. DS12 sits next to him on the couch every night and hugs him while watching TV.
Usually when WH is here, we get along ok, but today it was like he was trying to start a fight and I wasn't biting, or engaging. Just subtle sarcastic remarks here and there. If you don't mind, I'd like to vent something. I've been holding everything in for 2 weeks. Biting my tongue, but....
I dress conservatively. Always have. I was wearing a blouse today that was a little lower in the front than usual, but....ah....no cleavage. WH says something about how the shirt was too low, etc etc. About being modest. "We don't dress like that"....I said, who's we? He says about his religion, and I said very quietly, NOT sarcastic or angry, "I'm not your religion, and I do dress conservatively."
Now, he's mad. Too bad. I just wanted to explode. Still do. I mean WTF????
I did say to him earlier that it seems like he was trying to pick a fight and if he was upset about something, tell me, but I'm not fighting.
Maybe it's better he was like this today. I was almost getting reeled in and seeing the "ghost" of a thread of hope...... I was pretending and almost believing it.
So sad.
Honey I am so sorry. I just don't know what to say. We all hope that the smoke we see is not fire but I think you are right - God he is a dickhead!!!! Lots of HUGS - BIG HUGS at this terrible time.
Stay strong. You are getting there. I'm glad you enjoy my duck stories - anything for a giggle in this difficult time for us all.
No the ducks that got the "chop" - there were actually 2 of them- were always destined for the pot - so I didn't post their photos.
On a sadder note 2 baby ducks drowned yesterday! H was devastated. I'll bet none of you knew that can happen when they are very little!!!!!
Can't write much tonight. We are visiting our children.
Things are pretty good between us at present. I am becoming more hopeful. He told me tonight that under no circumstances will he ever cheat again. He said that even if I ended up in a wheelchair and couldn't have sex he would never look at another woman. I asked him again why he did it and he said because he was an idiot. I believe he means this but having said that I am even more determined that if he sins again we are done. I think the more remorseful he is (or appears) the more angry I will be if he cheats again and the easier it will be to kick his arse to the curb.
Love to all
I don't know the extent of his contact with her at the party. I dont' know if his contact with her was even limited to the party. All, I know is I saw a picture of them sitting together at an event I went apeshit over him attending without me. He spend the entire evening texting me how much he loves me, how I can trust him, blah, blah, blah, but yet there he is side by side with OW. It's possible he got up right after the photo was taken, but I do recall now that after the party, when I questioned him about OW, he said she would have had to have approached him for them to have been near each other. So, Mr. Allgood, Mr. Loophole, Mr. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman", that is a lie, not just some techinciality -that you didn't have contact with her because you got up and left.
He knows I don't want this. I really can't say anymore. I want him to do the right thing. But I can't hold his hand and lead him to it. I've done that.
I miss what we had years ago. I miss what we were developing, as rocky as it was. I'm deeply sorry that in a few short months I have to blow my kids world apart and tell them we are divorcing. (I realize it's not my fault in that I'm justified, but I'm still the one pulling the trigger.) I know they will recover and be happy as long as WH and I are able to be civil and respectful of one another. I also have heard enought people say it's the hardest thing they have ever had to do.
On that note, I have to go prepare some lunches.
The end of a marriage is about as hard as anything you will ever face in life. But the neat thing about the end of a marriage means the beginning of something that potentially could bring you great happiness. Think back to the happiest times in your whole life! This could be a year out. That is nothing, no time at all. You are such a beautiful young woman with so much to offer the world.
So did he sign the agreement or not? Go get it done. Ask him sign it. If he does, he wants out. If not, he will FIGHT not to sign it. This will be a indicator. If he fights, TELL him you need Retro with him giving 100% effort and no less! This will be the last attempt to save your marriage. If he signs it, tell him to go live with his lover, ask him to move out. Why fight the pain of an A-hole around.
Let's see... You feel unsafe. You tell him you feel unsafe and he says things that continue to make you think and feel unsafe. Let me tell you, YOU will never feel safe.. EVER. This makes for an unhealthy relationship. You live right now in misery. You have said you have not been treated well for a long time
It continues. A good marriage has a deep sense of trust. Your H crossed your boundary
Now you are fighting to defend that boundary
the consequence is your own happiness. You lose this battle with your own mind, you stay in misery and unsafe. You win, you take steps toward happiness.
I get it. Fear has overtaken you. You are scared that a life of a single woman will bring you pain and extra work. It might. But it might not. You are highly intelligent. Not Average, but highly. You will figure out easy ways to deal with your kids.
Some will try and tell you divorce will have horrible negative effect on the kids. It wont if you educate yourself on how to approach things.
The fear of single income. Two words, Child support. And I am sure you do alright for yourself.
You will be Ok
Sometimes, life hands us things that don't go according to plan. Protect yourself
pull yourself out of these negative feelings. .

Alright, I really have to go be a productive human being today.
mr allgood has been waiting for the shoe to drop, not believing in this reconcilliation from the getgo....giving half effort i think in order to protect himself when all he did was hang himself...so here it is this may be that other shoe....he is too defeatest to see anything but the dropping shoe...
yes they need to go back to mc...as much as we have allgoods back we do not have mr allgood's ear...
mr allgood is being so damned stupid...i hate stupid....it would be one thing if he wanted out, but he doesn't, if he did he would have walked from d-day.....why is it so damned hard for these ws's do just do "right".....they keep making the same stupid choices.....i am so sorry allgood....as ukgirl would say he is a "fuckwit and a fucktard".....
i also know that the text you sent him in response is yet another opportunity for him to "fight" for your marriage....i hope he takes it...i hope he is not taking stupid to pfm's level....
at the very least he did lie about his contact..and he went knowing that this is what you were afraid of....which is probably why he lied..that and not wanting to hear you say "i told you so" or acknowledging that you were right.....which is so damned stupid because if he was honest with you it would have went a long long way to reestablish some kind of trust with honesty.....so so stupid...i think i would like to slap him upside the head now....
allgood...her facebook..did she post anything from the party on....does he know that you have access to her facebook????
honest: you do sound good...stronger, more resigned...so yay for you...keep doin what you are doin cause its workin...
and the shirt thing: he is still attempting to control you, to assert himself "over" you...and in his own warped way show you that he cares enough to regulate your clothing...yet another manipulation..
laura: i learned something new, i never knew ducks could drown unless they were sick of course....or unable to tread water for injury or illness....i don't think i ever connected the dots to raising ducks...that they were eventually to be used for "food"....i liked it better when i didn't know that...
"You shouldn't want to trample on the hearts of your little ones."
To me, this is so powerful. I have never forgotten this line. This is what these men and women who engage in these A risk, trampling on the innocent lives of our children. It makes me so f'ing angry. (Now I'm crying.) WTF is wrong with these people???? How is it that any parent can look into the innocent faces of the children they brought into this world and think that escaping into fantasy won't crush these little ones? Where are there hearts????
they never once gave it a second thought fnf....not a one of them ever believed that they would get caught...they don't think like that...for them its a totally separate entity..one has nothing to do with the other....a perfect example of this it the workaholic...so wrapped up in his own life working for his family only to wake some day and the family is gone..he was too busy working to see it happening....well actually that is not a perfect example because the workaholic as misguided as he may be does have the intentions of doing good for his family, the ws has the intention of making himself feel "good" at the possible expense of the family....they just don't see the "possible" part....it truly, i don't think ever enters their minds...
nell: you sound good, proactive is always good...keeping your sense of humor is key sometimes to get through the dark that threatens to overtake us....so yay nell....
your anitversary:...reclaim it with something else...reclaim the dates...don't give them more power then already hold if you can...and yes i know so much easier said then done...so much easier..

Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz announced today that Israel and Egypt have agreed on the details of turning the Philadelphia corridor to Egyptian control. Egypt will deploy 750 Egyptian border policemen on its side of the border to prevent weapons smuggling into Gaza. In the past, Egypt has turned a blind eye to weapons smuggling from Egypt into Gaza. On Army Radio this morning, Mofaz said the agreement gives Egypt "comprehensive responsibility…[to prevent] weapons smuggling in the Philadelphia corridor in tunnels and above ground, into the Gaza Strip." The agreement specifies that 750 Egyptian border police will patrol the border, from armored personnel carriers and from observation towers posts they will erect.

Bentley should feel fortunate. The lead story on Thursday's front page of The New York Times could have been headlined, "Alabama governor exemplifies leaders turning their backs on the needy." Instead, The Times' lead story, "State Medicaid Decisions Leave Millions Uninsured," was an expose of the ramifications that decisions such as Bentley's are having on millions of Americans.
Bentley doesn't get it. He's wrapped in a cocoon of small-government, anti-Washington ideology. By saying his long-term goal is to resist the Affordable Care Act, and by saying that he will not expand a program (Medicaid) that he calls "broken," he's backed himself into a corner into which he can't escape.
If he reverses course and expands Medicaid — which he should, mostly at the expense of the federal government — he will face difficult questions about his changing opinion. So the dermatologist governor is sticking to his guns, despite the overwhelming data that prove how disastrous a decision this is.
The Times' story Thursday was too expansive to recount in total in this space, but a few points are imperative to this discussion.
• In states that are expanding Medicaid, 6.8 percent of adults aged 19 to 64 are poor and uninsured. In the states that are not expanding Medicaid, the figure jumps to 9.1 percent.
• More than half of America's poor and uninsured reside in Medicaid expansion-refusing states like Alabama.
• Sixty-eight percent of the poor and uninsured who are black live in states that aren't expanding Medicaid.
• Sixty percent of the poor and uninsured who are white live in states that aren't expanding Medicaid.
• In all 50 states, the percentage of poor and uninsured workers who are cashiers, cooks, nursing aides, sales clerks, waiters and waitresses, janitors, construction workers and housekeepers is in double digits.
We remind the governor that Alabama — which relies on so many jobs in construction and service industries — is home to thousands of workers who fall into that last category.
And, yet, Bentley won't budge.
In an ominous tone about the South, The Times wrote, "Every state in the Deep South, with the exception of Arkansas, has rejected the expansion. Opponents of the expansion say they are against it on exclusively economic grounds, and that the demographics of the South — with its large share of poor blacks — make it easy to say race is an issue when it is not."
It is simply inconceivable that Bentley has taken Alabama down this path. The data is clear. The research is sound. And the governor is wrong.

Sawmill is a log analysis tool which can be used to analyze Web site traffic, proxy usage, ftp usage, and much more. Major features include a persistent database for long-term tracking of statistics, hierarchical data mining features, and many security features appropriate for use in a multi-user environment.
Web-Analiser is a script to gather and analyze statistics of Website traffic. It provides the whole gamut of every possible statistics and reports, which analyze visitors, pages, and Website traffic. It is designed to operate both one and several domains (Websites) at once. The statistics are maintained, in which each Website dealt with separately and together. It includes a great number of statistical reports, making it possible to have a complete idea of your audience.
ProviderTool Internet server administration program with email protection. The software is divided into a subcomponent Admin Tool, Customer Tool, and a Reseller Tool. Each subcomponent tool manages a separate zone that is setup for the specific needs of your administrator, end user, and reseller. If you have a Red Hat, SuSE, or Debian Internet or intranet server, you will be able to add, delete, and change settings and users with just a couple of clicks. ProviderTool is delivered with a separate Apache and PHP server environment. There is also an email protection tool included.

The script supports full member control, admin levels, statistics, account expiration, action logs, easy configuration, member registration setup, announcements, and many other unique features.
IP::Country is a tool for fast lookup of country codes from IP addresses. Finding out the country of a client using only the IP address can be difficult. Looking up the domain name associated with that address can provide some help, but many IP address are not reverse mapped to any useful domain, and the most common domain (.com) offers no help when looking for country. This module comes bundled with a database of countries where various IP addresses have been assigned. Although the country of assignment will probably be the country associated with a large ISP rather than the client herself, this is probably good enough for most log analysis applications, and under test has proved to be as accurate as reverse-DNS and WHOIS lookup.

The local team, comprised of 13- and 14-year-olds, sits undefeated in tournament play after beating Carson 9-2 Tuesday and slipping by Reno American 10-8 in eight innings Wednesday.
On Wednesday against Reno American, Sparks Centennial fell behind 5-2 after three innings. That score remained intact until the Centennials posted a five-run sixth-inning.
Reno American rallied for a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth to knot the score at sevens. Both teams scored one run in the seventh to force extra baseball, but Sparks managed two more runs in the eighth inning while Reno American was held scoreless, securing the two-run triumph for the Rail City squad.
"We've been slow starting with the sticks," Sparks Centennial coach Steven Howe said. "Our guys off the bench have been the key. We've made changes and they've ignited the offense. Both times we've made the switches, we've banged out a bunch of runs.
"These type of late-game comebacks have gelled the team together and made everyone feel like it's a team effort. Not one kid is doing everything. Last night, every single kid contributed offensively or defensively."
In Tuesday's tournament opener, Carson captured an early edge, capitalizing on a pair of first-inning Sparks errors to score a 1-0 lead. The Centennial club knotted the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the third on a Nicholas Howe RBI single.
SC responded with five runs in the fifth and eventually took a 6-2 lead. Sparks added three more runs in the sixth to account for its final seven-run advantage.
Sparks hurler Anthony Messenger scattered five hits over six innings to record the win, striking out six and walking just one.
Sparks meets the winner of tonight's Carson vs. Reno American game in the tourney title tilt Friday at 7:30 p.m. If Sparks loses that game, it would have to be beaten again Saturday night to lose the tournament championship.
"We're in the driver's seat, so we're pretty happy with where we're at," Howe said.

My new Inspiron 3521 came with 12.04 preinstalled - that's why I got it in the first place. The graphic cards ran too hot, so I installed ATI, learned how to switch to the onboard Intel Ivy-Bridge and everything was cool, but the system began to hang. I read somewhere that this problem would be fixed in a newer kernel version so I decided to update the distro to 12.10. Here the onboard would not work anymore - the desktop background is present and I can get a terminal and launch applications from it, but there is no window manager.
I tried a couple of times to get it to work, got the 'the system is running in low-graphics mode' error, got out of it after a lot of research (+crying), but when trying one last time to revert to the onboard card (due to the ATI running extremely hot) everything somehow got completely broken. It seems this is the end of the line. However, I remembered that when I was configuring the preinstalled system it asked my if I want to make some sort of backup image of it and I agreed. When loading GRUB I have the option reset ubuntu to factory settings, and I tried it, but it does nothing..
Could anyone give me an idea of what to do? Thank you

1500 Polaris Pkwy, Columbus, OH | Directions 4320440.145060 -82.981908
Mon. - Thu. 10am - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 10am - 11pm;Sun. 10am - 9pm
Neighborhoods: Polaris
Food good, service OK – First timers...Arrived on time for reservation and seated promptly. We were waited on quickly and the food served nicely. We did not see anything wrong at all, other than the decibel level was way too loud. We enjoy talking during our meal, not using sign language. We stayed longer than other tables, so after everyone left it was very enjoyable. We will go back, but not on a weekend nite.
Bad service, very inconsistant food – Finally, I give up on this restaurant. After a couple good lunches here, it's been nothing but bad food and indifferent to horrible service (I once waited eight minutes, no one approached my table at all, and there were only ten other tables seated and nine servers that I saw including the one who was reading a magazine). I once convinced a friend to give it another try only to have our entrees come out cold. We sent them back, they returned (the crab cakes...the same ones we sent back) lukewarm. I sent mine back again. Don't bother with the lobster bisque; it tastes canned, as if it is flavored with nothing but lobster base. The 'horseradish' salad dressing on the steak salad sounds good, but has no flavor, even if you get it on the side and taste it on a fork! Today, I was pleased to see the flatbread brought to the table. It is usually one of the best things they make, though they are often out of it. Unfortunately, this time it was very, very stale. The other bread they serve tastes as if it came in frozen and was warmed up, not worth eating. If you can get them to serve it hot, the crab cake and sweet potato fries is very good, but only rarely is it well prepared. I ordered a chopped salad and steak sandwich. The salad came quickly but had almost no dressing, unfortunately no one bothered to ask me if it was alright until my server showed up again with my sandwich. This is just the last in a long line of bad experiences. This used to be a very good chain, I try to support local businesses (with the exception of Cameron Mitchell restaurants), but this is beyond the pale. Yes, it's convenient, yes it's pretty and has reasonably good iced tea, but no, I won't go back, and cannot suggest anyone else does, either.
Editorial Review – American cuisine served in an upscale bistro setting, including terrace dining, rooms for private parties and brunch.
Great Service, Great Food – We had a great meal! We asked to split a meal between us and they did not flinch and the food was presented and prepared perfectly. We even split a desert which was to die for. Our waitress was excellent and the ambience was great also. The only problem we had was finding the place. We were from out of town and the location and map did not say or show that the restaurant was attached to the shopping mall and there were a number of other restaurants all around that area. But we were determined to find and were sure glad that we did.
Nice place for Drinks and Dinner – Lindey's is exceptional well placed in the Polaris Mall. You will be suprised with some of the knowledgable servers and various wait staff. The wife and I both had fish and it was delightful. Also on Thursday's at least when we wnet last they had specials on Martini's which are pretty good! I reccommend Lindey's to anyone wanting a nice evening and good dining
Nice place for a casual dinner – We have been several times, some for lunch, several for dinner. We even have been twice with our family, 8 of us, and the food has always gone over very well. The rack of lamb is highly recommended, as is the crabcake salad.
Buzz Kill – I had excellent service here until the computers went down right before we asked for our bill. Our waitress(we heard form rummors as we WAITED) was the only person in the entire restaurant who knew how to fix the problem!? So, we sat there waiting for our bill ofr 45 minutes. In that time, the manager did not come out ONCE, the wait staff did not send anyone over to get us more drinks, nothing! In fact, we should have just left! Finally, the other couple we were with left and we stayed-waitning in the BAR by now, and asking anyone we could get our hands on to help us. Finally, exaclty one hour later the waitress comes out with our bill. Not until we requested did we finally see the manger, talk about service gone wrong. I left there with a headache and a bad memory!

Kayla Quanice Coleman was at Regional Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon, when she became unruly and hit one of her nurses in the face, police Sgt. Josh Doggrell said.
Police had taken Coleman to the hospital earlier that morning after she became aggressive toward McDonald's workers and threatened to harm herself, the sergeant said. Investigators don't know where exactly Coleman is from, because she has told police at different times that she is from Gadsden and Weaver.
Officers arrested Coleman at the hospital on the assault charge around 1:30 p.m. and took her to the jail. She was being held there Wednesday morning. No bond information was available.

On April 2, 2014, clarifying updates were made to The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Exposed and HIV-Infected Children. Please click here for more information.
(Last updated:11/6/2013; last reviewed:11/6/2013)
This schedule summarizes recommendations for routine administration of vaccines for HIV-infected children and adolescents aged 7 through 18 years and indicates the recommended ages for vaccine administration for vaccines licensed in the United States in 2013. Licensed combination vaccines may be used whenever a component of the combination is indicated and other components of the vaccine are not contraindicated and if approved by the Food and Drug Administration for that dose of the series, unless otherwise specified. Clinically significant adverse events that follow immunization should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Guidance about how to obtain and complete a VAERS form is available at http://www.vaers.hhs.gov or telephone 800-822-7967.
Tetanus And Diphtheria Toxoids And Acellular Pertussis Vaccine (Tdap)
Minimum age: 7 years
Human Papillomavirus Vaccine (HPV)
Minimum age: 9 years
Note: Two HPV vaccines are licensed. A quadrivalent vaccine (HPV4) is licensed for use in females and males; a bivalent vaccine (HPV2) is licensed for use in females. Because these are not live virus vaccines, they can be administered to individuals who are immunosuppressed because of disease or medication, including those who are HIV-infected. However, the immune response and vaccine efficacy may be less than in immunocompetent individuals.
Meningococcal Vaccine (Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine [MCV4])
Influenza Vaccine (Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine [TIV])
Pneumococcal Vaccine (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine [PCV]; Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine [PPSV])
Hepatitis A Vaccine (HepA)
Hepatitis B Vaccine (HepB)

I moved to Columbus from New York City shortly before Sept. 11, 2001. I'd completed my graduate studies in poetry at Columbia University, and the attack on the World Trade Center marked a decisive end to that intensive period of study and creativity. I started teaching at Ohio Dominican in 2002, and have taught a wide array of graduate and undergraduate courses, including freshman composition and creative writing, core seminars for freshman and sophomores (including a popular course on the literature of the Vietnam War), and courses in the study of poetry. I have worked extensively with ODU's honors program and core curriculum, and for five years I served as the director of ODU's Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Program.
Poetry has been my sustaining passion for many years. I enjoy the challenges and rewards that come with teaching poetry to my students. I often have students approach me after a course in poetry to say things like, "I used to hate poetry. Now I feel like I finally get it!" Not long ago, a student-athlete from my Vietnam War course came to me and said, "I always thought poetry was something teenage girls wrote in their diaries. I had no idea poetry could be so cool or so powerful." I support poetry in the local community by giving readings and by serving as a judge for the state-wide Poetry Out Loud competition, where high school students from across Ohio memorize and recite classic poetry for a shot at the national finals (and a $20,000 prize!).
After earning tenure in 2010, I spent a semester traveling and writing. Over the past 10 years, my poems have been published in many respected literary journals, from The Paris Review, Antioch Review, and Denver Quarterly, to A Public Space, Verse, and The Beloit Poetry Journal. Since 2008, I've also written dozens of essays and reviews of contemporary and avant-garde classical music for La Tempestad, an arts and culture magazine with an international focus published in Mexico City. My writings have been recognized with a number of awards, including the Bernard F. Connors Prize from The Paris Review, a Pushcart nomination, and an Excellence Award from the Ohio Arts Council. In 2012, I was the Ohio Arts Council's poet-in-residence at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Mass.
In my life outside ODU, I enjoy running, kayaking, and hiking. I'm also an amateur astronomer. I use an Orion Astroview six-inch equatorial reflector scope to view the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter, distant galaxies, and even the sun (with a solar filter, of course). As the English Romantic poet John Keats wrote, "Bright Star, would I were steadfast as thou art…"

Would love to try some of the Star Treks, and suredly the Mars Attacks, but $4/32 pages is too high a price for me--
Walking Man Comics
Age/Bronze-A.S.Westrn-AstroCity-Amelia-CourtneyC.-Brody'sGhost-DD-Dial H-Fables-Fatale-Fell-Goon-Groo-Hellboy-Mudman-NextWave-Rocketeer-StarDrop-Thief-Usagi-Wolff/Byrd-Unwritten
I started with TMNT, then started the new Judge Dredd serie and now i'm cureently reading throught the back issues of GI Joe/Cobra/Stormshadow. They're all good but my fav is TMNT out of the 3. And there is also the mini serie of Sam Keith "The Hollows" that I am currently reading.
Does their Judge Dredd comic have the same british charm as the original?
This isn't being released right now but Angel:After the Fall is phenomenal. Blows the entirety of Buffy Season 8 out of the water.
Oh, and umm.. You probably won't like it if you haven't watched the show. :p

Cheerful and flattering This is a pretty and comfortable bathing suit for my middle-aged body; disguises a tummy and covers appropriately without looking dowdy at all. April 14, 2014
Springtime Fits well love the spring colours! The fabric texture is very soft yet holds upwell in water. April 4, 2014
love the fit I ordered this product online. It arrived quickly, and in perfect condition. As for the tummy control feature, very little tummy control,as far as I'm concerned. Thankfully, I don't have much of a tummy, but advertising this as one of the features of this suit, I think is a bit misleading. The suit wears well, looks great, and washes beautifully.

very little support in the cups. I actually had to return this and get a smaller size. Although I am trim, I am slightly busty and this suit has no support in the chest area. Also, the straps are a little long even at the shortest adjustment length. However, the print is fun and colorful and I couldn't resist the Hawaiian print. February 15, 2014
Beautiful, figure enhancing and well made suit This is the first Tommy Bahama swimsuit I have ever ordered and the first I've ever tried on. This suit is so well made and true to size and most importantly (in my opinion) makes me look and feel wonderful, the years of struggling to find a swimsuit are over. I am an active 53 year young, 5'4-135lb. mom and ordered the size 10. I will definitely order from Tommy Bahama again! February 3, 2014
Love this! I love this style and the fit. I have this in different colors and always get compliments! January 13, 2014
Love this bathing suit. Love the colors on the bathing suit. It does run a little small. Order 1 size larger. Would have liked a matching skirt to cover the top of my legs. August 18, 2013
beautiful design, very comforable I love the Hawaiin design and the comfort of this bathing suit. It is great for swimming. Nothing pulls or rubs even when sunburned! I also love the shirring across the tummy area! It is very flattering. This is my fifth Tommy Bahama bathing suit! I am hooked on them. July 10, 2013
